Northern German Altbier All-Grain Recipe Kit

Authentic Northern German Altbier is hard to come by- that's why you have to make your own! Rarely found outside of Germany, this unique and flavorful brew is a wonderful addition to your tap list. Altbier is considered a “hybrid” beer- an ale fermented cool with a lager yeast or very clean ale yeast, and then lagered (stored cold) for a very clean beer with smooth malt flavor and a touch of caramel. Balanced, with rich malt flavors, this is an all-year-round beer that you will love. Store cold in the bottle (once it is carbed up), or lager in a carboy or keg, for 2-3 weeks for most authentic “altbier” flavor and finish. A yeast starter, or two packages of yeast, is recommended for best results due to the cooler fermentation temperature.

Prost!
